Cats and Hot weather
It looks like I'll be moving from New York City to Florida within two months - assuming all goes well with the house sale. My three cats are used to going into my fenced in backyard, but for a few months (at least) they'll have to stay inside once we get to Florida. I won't have a fenced in yard for them. My cats do go out during the winter, but usually only for a few minutes before deciding that indoors is more comfortable. They also don't tend to go out for very long in hot weather. Right now they spend a fair around of time in the back. It will be interesting to see how much they want to go out in very hot weather. Being fur-lined, I think it won't be too much, but I have seen cats roaming around the Florida neighborhood so I suppose they get used to it. The new house has an atrium - 6' by 12', or roughly 2 by 4 meters I guess. It's open to the sky, so of course it's going to be hot. But I'm planning on leaving the glass door open a bit so the cats can get in there. Sort of like being outside but without the normal dangers. We aren't allowed to let pets roam freely, but as I wrote, I've seen cats that clearly aren't strays so sooner or later mine will be allowed to go out in the yard. I just don't think that they'll be going out much from May to October. |
